How about you just dont text while with other. Thats the bright side to texting. You dont have to answer it right away. You can go back to it 10 minutes later and it will be there. Texting is so annoying. =( (when not use correctly)

just say.. "excuse me" or "just for a while" then leave answer the text without the person seeing you then go back after you txt then say " sorry, that was my (the texter) what are we talking about?" or just start the conversation again bitch!
